Passing Value into Sub Report

[cmptrnerd9]

What is the best way to pass a value from the main report into a subreport, so it can be used in a formula field?

USE SHARED VARIABLES IN FORMULAS. I LIKE BASIC SYNTAX....

IN MAIN, REPORT A FORMULA THAT COLLECTS A VALUE AND DISPLAYS NOTHING
Shared MyVar as number
MyVar = {Table.Field}
Formula = ""

IN THE SUB REPORT, A FORMULA THAT MANIPULATES THE COLLECTED VALUE AND DISPLAYS THE RESULT
Shared MyVar as Number
MyVar = MyVar * .0775
Formula = MyVar

NOTE: SHARED VARIABLES ARE ONLY ACCESSABLE WhilePrintingRecords
